What's Happening?

2023 amphibian & reptile courses

Picture
 In 2021, we contributed 516 person hours in the field and logged 818 observations of 33 species including 12 species-at-risk. In 2022, we contributed 387 person hours in the field and logged 926 observations of 33 species including 292 observations of 11 species-at-risk.

Full access to the recorded webinar, online learning modules, and field training requires a one-time fee of $95/course. Field days consist of 6-hrs in one of three locations: southwestern, central, or southeastern Ontario. Surveys are conducted in protected areas with authorization to conduct research and handle amphibians and reptiles for the purpose of contributing to conservation efforts.

You must participate in one field day for each course. You can choose from three different location in Ontario depending upon  where you want to visit and your geographic location. 
Reptiles: Sept 9, 10, and 16 in central, eastern, and southwestern Ontario.
Amphibians: Sept 23, 30, and Oct 1 in central, eastern, and southwestern Ontario
Monitoring: Sept 16, 24, and Oct 7 in central, eastern, and southwestern Ontario

Guyana

A new initiative with Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development exploring the balance between community, culture, and conservation.
Success in community-based conservation is measured by how effectively you can work your way out of a job!

Your goal is to become obsolete because the skills and knowledge gaps in the local community have been addressed.

OUR GOAL

Develop relationships with local communities to improve their capacity for conservation and restoration of species and spaces.
